Item Details
A performer with the unique ability to cross genres and defy categorizations, Irish singer-songwriter Susan McKeown has won praise for her dynamic voice and unique music in the pages of Time, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone. Susan's debut recording Bones earned her a reputation as a songwriter whose lyrics reflect the heart and soul of a woman's life experience.

In 1998, her album Bushes & Briars firmly established McKeown as an interpreter of traditional song. She brings her eloquent and haunting voice, as well as the instrumental talents of a distinguished cast of supporting musicians, to bear on a set of traditional Celtic and British songs.

"One of the foremost singers in Irish music." - Dirty Linen

"Equal parts folk-flavored songwriter and alternative rock chanteuse. [McKeown] walks on the wild side of Gaelic melody." - The Boston Globe

"This well-schooled Dublin traditional singer seems to be able to stitch all sorts of musical engines onto her Irish repertoire and still raise cold hackles of emotion." - The Irish Times
